Announcement: One returning Peace Corps Volunteer in need (that's me folks).

Hi everybody...I have a question for you. Does anyone know anyone who knows anyone who lives in LA? If so, are any of these people nice enough to help me out if I need some somewhat troublesome assistance?

Here's the issue: I'm trying to ship a Mongolian trunk home from here, along with some other souveniers. One way to do this is to send it by container to LA (a friend here is sending a big ole container and has offered to let us poor folk include our stuff in it). But if I do this I need someone on the ground in LA to pick it up and FedEx/UPS/DHL it to Va or DC so I can pick it up. This would probably be in August.

I can research the rates for west to east coast but the main thing is knowing someone who can take the thing from point a to point b for me in LA.

Anyone who has any ideas please email me at cswallinger@gmail.com. I won't be around email for two weeks so don't expect a reply until then.

Thanks a lot!

Carrie
